15 Week U/S yesterday and baby gender!

I went in yesterday for an U/S and MaterniT21 test and the Dr. was able to determine the baby's gender already! What! The books/websites I've seen said between 16-20 weeks?!?! Man, what technology! We even got a cool 4-D picture!

However, we declined to find out the gender immediately... the technician wrote it down and sealed it in an envelope. Today I'll take the envelope to my baker and they'll make filled cupcakes based on the gender (pink or blue) and we'll have our gender reveal cupcake party w/friends/family this Saturday! Aahhhh! That envelope is taunting me! But I can wait...

Well, I'm 40, FTM, so they have had me in for 4 U/S's already "just to take a look" and make sure the baby's ok, which it is! I'm healthy and fit, but just b/c of my age they keep wanting to look at it. Fine with me!!!

That is an awesome idea! I've heard of the gender revealing with the cupcakes, but always figured that was the mother making the cupcakes for her guests at a party or something - I love the idea of having yourself be equally as surprised! Crazy_Cookie07, I have a 3D ultrasound scheduled for Saturday for early gender testing, I will be 16 weeks, 5 days! Granted, it was completely voluntary and not at my doctor's office, but I'm impatient so I want to know the gender nowwww! My husband is even worse than I am, I would love this cupcake idea but he wouldn't even be able to wait for the baker to finish making them, lol. Congrats!!

Wow! That is such a great idea... I am 16w1d and am having myU/S in a week and a half and my doctor said he would be able to tell us the gender then. Now I'm thinking cup cake reveal a very good idea, my husband loves sweet treats so am sure I can convince him. Do you mind if I steal it? We are having twins, it would be great if it was two sexes...lol.

We're doing the same thing! Except we're gonna do cake pops that are colored on the inside and encourage people to really get involved by wearing pink/blue and whatnot. Idk how I'm gonna keep myself from looking at the envelope when the time comes! The u/s will be on a Monday and I'll have to wait like 5 days to find out. The party is gonna be the day before DH's b-day so I'm gonna try to sneak in a birthday surprise somehow. Take tons of pics!!

Oh please, I stole this idea from somewhere too! yes, the baker was so sweet, she said they do this from time to time and she peeked in the envelope and then wrote something down on the order form (She was even nice enough to cover her writing with her other hand, although I was also careful to look away deliberately!) and then gave me back the envelope. I stuck it in my purse and later re-sealed it with tape so yes, it's in my purse now and while tempted to take a peek, I am determined to find out on Saturday in front of my friends/family which will be so much more fun!!!
